Hi,

Last week I went on and on about how hot it was, and now it's over. Today it rained off and on all day, and it's cool. We went out this morning, spent the afternoon inside, and went out this evening. Nice day.

A few of you got this 'Easy' song. I expected to hear from more of you, but I guess you're waiting for more clues.
"When I'm ridin' 'round the world, and I'm doin' this and I'm signing that, and I'm tryin' to make some girl, who tells me 'baby better come back later next week, 'cause you see I'm on a losing streak.' (__ __ __ __), oh no no no..."
Clue: Some folks can't be satisfied until they have all the clues.

The yard crew came to groom the compound this morning. It started to drizzle but that didn't stop them. They work almost all day and the place looks great.

Once the yard folks were settled in we went to Big C for some supplies. Blue wanted to get a Chiang Rai United jersey for Ming, and we needed a few things so Lisa can bake cookies this evening. Our local football (soccer) team played their first game of the season on Sunday. It was one of those 0-0 endings, but the word is that we were robbed of a goal. There was quite a buzz around the table where they were selling the team stuff. There are clocks, scarves, hats, watches, shirts and more, all with the CRUTD logo. This little town is really growing up.

After we left Big C we made the U-turn on the highway and paused at the Bigger C, the new Central Plaza, so Blue could take some photos. The construction is going full steam ahead since they have a supposed March 30 opening date that's being advertised. The crews are working 24 hours a day to complete the entire project. Hmm, it's going to change the whole area with what it has to offer.

This is Blue's last full evening in Chiang Rai for this visit so we went to the Night Bazaar for dinner. It was still raining lightly and most of the vendors had not set up. It was a bit eerie to see all the empty spaces. After dinner we drove to the traffic circle where The Clock Tower lives and went to a place called Kaffee Hub. It's a very trendy spot that's a coffee shop/restaurant with a chic atmosphere, lots of wood, and a mystic that says 'you must be here'. We sat near the sidewalk and watched the Clock Tower light show that goes on at 8pm every night. There must have been some rain damage because near the end of the final sequence the lights just went out. They finally came back on, but without the pretty colors. Oh well, it's not like we've never seen it before. It's one of those things you have to do when you come to town.

Feels like a Wacky Wednesday.

Peace,
Danny
